No. It is not in the country's (Philippines) jurisdiction should
someone have unpaid debt in the other country.(United Kingdom).
However, you can be sued in the United Kingdom. The other party
would just need to know where you are to serve the papers on you.

Answer .
There is no cut-and-dry answer to this question. Statute of limitations (SOL) is established by state law and varies according to account type. The SOL for a cre…dit card may be set by the state in which the consumer resides, or may be set by the state's laws which govern the contract. Many credit card issuers write card holder agreements under laws which favor them, like South Dakota and North Carolina. There are also different statutes for written contracts, promissory notes and verbal agreements. If your aim is to find out the SOL which applies in a specific case, you would need to research the state and contract type.

The statute of limitations of unpaid debt is the time period that acreditor has to collect a debt. When the time period has passed,the creditor can no longer sue you for the u…npaid debt. The time isset in each state and can vary from three to 10 years.

A motion or application for an order vacating or setting aside the judgment may be made if service of the complaint had not been made properly. Before a judgment can be entere…d against a debtor, the complaint must be served on the debtor personally or sometimes if the court allows, by certified mail. If the debtor was not served with the complaint because he was out of the country and if he did not know about the lawsuit, the judgment entered would be void. But because the judgment is on the public record as a judgment, the debtor has to ask the court to set it aside. If the court agrees that the judgment should be set aside, it will enter an order vacating the judgment , but it will also reinstate the case as if it were just filed. By filing the motion to vacate the judgment, the debtor has automatically acknowledged service of the complaint, so there is no longer a need for the plaintiff to serve it and the case will start again. In addition to this, a debtor in that situation should also review very carefully the documents the collection agency filed in order to prove to the court that the debtor was properly served. If that "proof" was falsified, the agency could be in violation of state and federal debt collection laws, perjury laws and contempt of court rules.
